“Tell me a fact and I’ll learn. Tell me a truth an
d I’ll believe. Tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.” Tha
t anonymous quote captures an insight that makes sense to Cynthia Bishop\,
a storyteller who grew up in Greece\, Italy and Egypt. As a young person\
, she collected folk tales from around the world\, and as a founding membe
r of Salt City Storytellers\, Bishop learned to perform traditional as wel
l as personal tales. She will perform some of those tales for us\, and wil
l talk about her work as a storyteller and as a narrator of audio books fo
r youth.
